Swallowing the Stars: Ten Thousand Times Return for Taking on Disciples

Chapter 162 The Next Disciple

Just as Lu Qingshan emerged from the Cosmic Chaos Stele.

In a magnificent golden hall halfway up Thunder Mountain, far away from the headquarters of Virtual Universe Company.

This is the secret treasure trove of the Virtual Universe Company.

The slightly plump old man in the golden robe, who had a brief encounter with Lu Qingshan before, looked at a secret manual with an incredulous expression in his eyes.

"how is this possible?"

The elderly man wondered if there was something wrong with his eyesight.

"Isn't Lu Qingshan primarily focused on comprehending the fundamental laws of time? So, this manual..."

When he signed the contract with Lu Qingshan last time, he greatly admired Lu Qingshan's book on analyzing the fundamental laws of time, and was even more moved by Lu Qingshan's willingness to reduce his own income in order to cultivate geniuses for the human race.

But how much time has passed?
It's been about a thousand years!
This Prince Lu Qingshan has actually uploaded another secret technique analyzing the fundamental laws of space. Moreover, judging from the title of the technique, it is clearly a sister book to the previous one.

Green Mountains - The Foundation of Spatial Laws

The old man's lips twitched as he looked at the name. This name was clearly the foundation of a series; there was definitely more to come. This Prince of the Primordial Mystic Realm seemed to have the ambition to become a Grandmaster.

"Adam!"

He summoned one of his men.

"Lord Zhiyuan, what are your orders?"

This man named Adam was also a powerful immortal god, possessing the strength of a peak Marquis, but he was no match for the old man.

"Take a look at this secret technique. I am not proficient in the fundamental laws of space."

Adam picked up the secret manual and examined it closely.

He had long since gained the recognition of the fundamental laws of space, and with his discerning eye, he could naturally discern the quality of this secret technique.

He studied the manual carefully for a long time, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Lord Zhiyuan, this secret technique is quite good. It is the highest quality secret technique on spatial laws that the company has recently collected. Compared with this, the company's previous best-selling book, 'Blood Floating,' is not even a level below it. The creator of this secret technique is probably a grandmaster who is very proficient in the fundamental laws of space."

"Hmm?" King Zhiyuan nodded; his subordinates' assessment was similar to his guess.

Since they are sister films, the quality shouldn't be too different.

"Adam, pretend you don't know anything about this secret method, and don't tell anyone."

King Zhiyuan spoke cautiously.

"Yes, I understand."

Adam felt a chill run down his spine and quickly responded, realizing he had probably inadvertently stumbled upon some secret.

The jobs at the Virtual Universe Company's Treasure Pavilion are highly sought after, and he didn't want to lose such a valuable job because of a single careless remark.

After Adam left, King Zhiyuan took the secret method and went to the innermost secret chamber of the Treasure Pavilion.

……

"That's how it is, Venerable Youyue. What do you think should be done about this?"

Venerable Youyue is the true person in charge of the Secret Treasure Pavilion, but he doesn't usually get involved. All the work is handled by King Zhiyuan, and he only appears when major events occur.

Now, in King Zhiyuan's eyes, this matter is a major event.

"I will report this matter to my superiors."

After King Zhiyuan explained the matter, a wisp of Venerable Youyue's consciousness had already gone to the City Lord's Mansion in the Virtual Universe.

The Lord of Chaos City glanced at the secret technique briefly before revealing a smile and saying, "Youyue, now you know why I let this Lu Qingshan join the Primal Secret Realm."

“Youyue understands. This Lu Qingshan is simply a top-tier genius who only appears once every billion years. He can actually cultivate across time and space. This is…”

The Venerable Youyue didn't say what came next, but if Lu Qingshan really reached that level, even he would have to bow respectfully to the other party.

Those are the greatest beings in human history; there have only been a dozen or so since the human race began to reproduce.

“Lord of the city, we must protect Lu Qingshan well. If the alien race finds out, they will probably do anything to assassinate him.”

Venerable Youyue was one of the high-ranking members of the human race, so he naturally understood what Lu Qingshan's potential represented.

Even the slightest hope is more important than those venerable ones!
"Should we release this manual? Or discuss with Lu Qingshan about buying it outright, or perhaps change the name of the technique?"

Venerable Youyue offered his suggestion.

As a member of the human elite, he did not want Lu Qingshan to be coveted by other races.

"It doesn't have to be this way."

The Lord of Chaos City shook his head.

“Since Lu Qingshan chose the Cosmic Bridge, it means his talent cannot be hidden. In that case, let those Venerables who were discussing it before see for themselves. They previously thought that Lu Qingshan entered the Primordial Secret Realm through willpower, but they didn’t know what Lu Qingshan’s potential represented.”

“Yes!” Venerable Youyue nodded, not daring to question.

Soon, another new secret technique appeared in the secret technique vault within the Virtual Universe Company.

This time, King Zhiyuan personally signed a contract with Lu Qingshan again, not only setting the price at 800 points as Lu Qingshan requested, but also applying for a special points reward! It's called the Best Contribution Award.

Lu Qingshan had Nasus search, but found no one else who had received this reward.

And so, Lu Qingshan's two secret techniques were sold in the company's treasury, and at a very low price, so that basically every genius searching for similar secret techniques could see them.

Geniuses who take the path of analyzing the essence of the higher-level fundamental laws are basically at least second-class. Lu Qingshan is like a fisherman who has cast his bait and just needs to wait quietly for the harvest!
……

In the initial chaotic city of the universe, there was a small building located next to the street.

Jin Jian woke up from his cultivation, and his furrowed brows showed that he was not in a good mood.

"The nature of this 97th space is simply too difficult. Where should I even begin? I've tried hundreds of times following the methods in 'Bloodstained', but why can't I solve it?"

"If this pace continues, I won't be able to cross the 11th level of the Heavenly Bridge before the next qualifying battle. It will be difficult to even break into the top three of the Primordial Secret Realm, let alone enter the Primordial Secret Realm. I'm not reconciled! I, Jin Jian, am a talent envied by the heavens. How can I be blocked by these 108 spatial essences? I'm not reconciled! But this is too difficult!!"

Jin Jian muttered to himself in a low voice, his words somewhat incoherent.

A pang of regret flashed through his mind. If he hadn't taken the path of analyzing the fundamental laws of space, his progress wouldn't have been so slow. He would have already entered the Primal Secret Realm long ago, instead of worrying about the spot to fight against the Primal Secret Realm now.

"No! I made the right choice. I, Jin Jian, am destined to become a strongman. I must lay a solid foundation. There must be a way, there must be a way to solve this problem."

at this time.

He found an email in his inbox from his teacher, Anju Wang.

"Golden Sword Boy, take a look at this manual. Many grandmasters have given it high praise. I've already bought it for you. Give it a try and see if you can benefit from it."

The teacher's voice seemed to echo in his ears.

Jin Jian did not resent his teacher, a master who had comprehended the laws of time, for taking him, a disciple who had comprehended the laws of space, as his teacher. Over the years, his teacher's tolerance towards him was something no one else could provide. Although his teacher could not personally teach him, he recommended many mentors for him, many of whom were obtained through personal connections.

Moreover, his teacher only took him on as a disciple when no one else had taken notice of him, so he had no other choice.

"My teacher, a master of time, actually recommended a spatial technique to me and told me to take a look first."

The golden sword unlocks the secret technique.

"Green Hills - Spatial Foundations"?
What a pretentious name this secret technique has!

Why give it such a name? Are you planning to make advanced and ultimate versions as well?

Jin Jian snorted and examined the contents of the secret technique.

Once you start watching, you can't stop.

He had already mastered the first ninety-odd essential aspects of the fundamental laws of space, so the content preceding the secret technique posed no barrier to his understanding.

However, he still received some pleasant surprises.

"I never thought it could be analyzed like this. This idea is brilliant. If we had gone this way back then, we could have saved at least five years in solving this fundamental problem."

"Hmm, these 72 and 73 essences can be solved together like this. How come I didn't think of that? It's a genius design."

I don’t know how much time has passed.

As Jin Jian reviewed the secret techniques, he quickly reached the 97th technique that had stumped him.

Jin Jian was stunned after just one glance at the contents of the secret technique. Then, a look of wild joy appeared on his face.

"Yes, yes, that's it, that's it!!"

He wasted no more time and immediately began to study the contents of the secret method.

Less than three days had passed.

Jin Jian opened his eyes again.

"Success!"

A strong sense of confidence flashed in his eyes; once he got through this hurdle, the rest would be nothing to him.

"This secret technique is indeed somewhat useful."

He then continued to comprehend the essence of the 98th space. He thought he had broken through the bottleneck and could understand two or three more in one go, but he was stuck on the next one.

"Secret technique, take another look at that secret technique book."

Jin Jian hurriedly re-entered the virtual universe to examine the secret technique. However, having previously focused on the Bloodlust path, the laws in this book were already quite profound. After studying it for a long time, Jin Jian did not gain the same insights as before.

"how so!"

His face was dejected, and then he got up and went to his teacher's small building in Chaos City.

"Teacher, I'd like you to help me find another mentor."
